Its been a long time since I’ve seen the movie but I always thought he was an anarchist who just wanted to burn everything to the ground.

How? Wouldn’t they have to go through a voter registration process that requires a voter id and ss#, and who casts the vote? The CEO or someone selected from the board?.. and couldn’t some rich asshole just start a whole bunch of corporations to give themselves as many votes as they want? This blatantly goes against the one person one vote principle.

Everyone’s already complaining about things costing too much, but I’m sure it’ll pass anyway…

I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

Ok so my impression from these posts is that its hard to hit a helicopter, but I was thinking if helicopters fly by pushing air downward, would simply getting a drone above a helicopter suck it down into the blades?

I had a thought the other day that I’m not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn’t that be an effect of the dollar going down?

An EMERGENCY ad campaign at that. Labeling it as an emergency allowed them to skip the bidding process and just give it straight to her friends.

If Dickens is Dickensian, then Seuss should be Seussian.

Is this a declaration of civil war? We all know their use of the term “terrorist organizations” is bullshit, so they are really just saying that they are going to start killing US citizens without due process on American soil. This general needs to be court martialed. He is not upholding his oath to the constitution.

Informing people of the constitution is a violation of the constitution?

The problem is it was only “discussed” instead of “railed against”. Then the Citizens United ruling came around, and the country was lost to the oligarchs.

I never really thought about it, but isn’t the question actually “why do opposite charges attract?” Doesn’t it come down to stability? The universe likes equilibrium and combining opposite charges is an attempt to equalize.

I remember hearing that one potential reason for it not being as popular in the US was that TV stations couldn’t make as much money since theres no timeouts or stopages in play. American football has a lot more down time allowing for more ads.

Personally I think American football is boring as shit. Its one 5sec play followed by 30sec of standing around. Average game is something like 3hrs, but theres only about 10min where the ball is actually in play.

Its all the Russian propaganda being used by conservative pundits. They convinced republican voters that Ukraine is the bad guy somehow…

When’s the next special election? My guess is they won’t open back up until they can get another pedophile protector in there.

The FDR memorial is awesome. There’s a great quote around every corner.

I know its unlikely they will hear anything I say, but I like to point out, with solid logic, people who see themselves as rightous (without any actual introspection) are actually giant pieces of shit. I have yet to hear any good argument from them in response.

If their punishment fetish is what allows them to be ok with potentially killing innocent people, then they deserve to be next in line. They are no different than those they want to punish. I don’t even think punish is the right word. Executions would be vengeance. They have that fetish because they think of themselves as righteous, good people. They are not. People who support the death penalty are no different than medieval peasants cheering on the gruesome torture of a “criminal” like its entertainment. That is sadism. They can not be the good person they see themselves as and be sadistic at the same time. They just love to feed the sadistic part of themselves. I just try to get them to be more introspective, and that if their goal is to be a rightous person, they need to stop feeding their own sadism.

I’ve tried arguing that its not about the guilty. Its about us. We are the ones preforming the execution. Killing a killer doesn’t reduce the number of killers. It just brings us down to their level. In my mind, if you take pleasure in the suffering of others, whether they deserve it or not, its sadism. People need to realize that the positive feeling they get from vengeance is just another form of sadism. If you want to think of yourself as a good person then you shouldn’t feed that personality trait.

I remember a girl telling me a story back in high school when she was in a class that would go and interact with 1st and 2nd graders. She told the story of her meeting a young girl with a name tag that said “Gina”, so she said “hi Gina”. The girl responded “its pronounced Gyna”. She said she had to turn and walk away as to not laugh in the girl’s face.
